I was two days short of getting my Shingles shot. I had gotten the flu and the Pneumonia shot. Then I had gotten a rash in my eye and on my face. Honestly, my husband and I didn't know what it was. He took me to the ER 3 times, and we sat for 10 hours. Finally, on the 3rd visit someone figured out what it was. I ended up in the hospital because the infection when into my brain through my eye and I did not even know who I was (encephalitis) I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, so I make sure I get certain vaccines. Now I have constant nerve pain and cannot see out of my right eye. I was told that you need antiviral medication within 72 hours to not get nerve pain. I have had nerve pain since November. I am hoping I will not be permanent. Shingles are horrible.
